Cheng Ling changed the name of the shop, but still did not start selling elixirs. He was still waiting for Zhang Hu to come back.
If only he and Xiyan could run a store in Nuo Da, they would be exhausted. After all, their purpose is to deal with the Chen family, not to really do business here, so they don't have to put themselves in harm's way.
Two days later, Cheng Ling got up early in the morning, walked out of the inner courtyard, turned around the entrance, and saw Zhang Hu and others waiting outside.
He looked up and saw three waves of people. The first wave of people were wearing black tops and shorts, obviously the clothes of waiters, and there were about twenty people.
The second wave of people was more complicated. There were old people and young people. Cheng Ling glanced at it and knew that they were all monks. Two of them were in the foundation building stage, and the remaining four were only in the Qi refining stage.
The third wave of people were all girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, all dressed as maids, and they all looked pretty.
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Hu is a good boy and has a smart mind. He passed the first test.
Zhang Hu secretly glanced at his face, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've met the young master!"
Everyone bowed and saluted, and shouted together: "I have seen the young master!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Okay, everyone doesn't need to be polite. From now on we are a family. Whether our Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry can prosper depends on your efforts."
After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Hu: "You did a good job on this matter! There are a few other things I want you to do!"
"Master, please give me your instructions!"
"You send people to spread the news that our Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry is open, and tell them that Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry has begun trial operations. Everyone who comes can receive a Qi-increasing pill. However, only the first thousand people have this The benefits will be gone after a thousand dollars.”
"Also, you need to let them enter the alchemy shop on the first floor to collect them. They must not collect them at the door. In the alchemy shop, you must also arrange them properly and place these elixirs on the corresponding counters. However, these elixirs Not for sale at the moment.”
Zhang Hu was startled, someone came to buy it, why didn't he sell it? Master, why are you paying attention to this? He didn't dare to ask easily, but Cheng Ling noticed the doubt in his eyes.
He said: "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. There is no need to be afraid!"
Zhang Hu asked: "Master, since you have attracted those people, why don't you want to sell the elixir?"
Cheng Ling smiled sinisterly and said, "If there is something you really want and have the money to buy, but they won't sell it, how would you feel?"
"Of course I want to buy it even more. Master, I understand. This move is indeed brilliant!"
"Well, you just need to tell them that sales will officially start in ten days!"
Zhang Hu was confused again and asked, "Why is this?"
"Do you know why I only gave pills to a thousand people? Instead of ten people, a hundred people, or ten thousand people?"
"Please give me some advice, Master!"
"Ten people or a hundred people are too few, and ten thousand people are too many, so it's not cost-effective. Thousand people, just think about it, if a rumor is spread by a hundred people or by a thousand people, which one will spread faster?"
"Of course there are thousands of people! I understand! And within ten days, it can be spread almost throughout Luoye City."
Cheng Ling nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay, you can handle these things first. Those people are at your disposal. How you want them to work for you is up to you to decide the remuneration or rewards. As for these few I took the maid away, come find me again at midnight tonight!"
"Yes, congratulations, young master!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and led the maids into the inner courtyard. He still has some things to plan carefully. Zhang Hu may not be able to accept it all at once, so he has to do it by himself. As for Xi Yan, he must also ask her to help!
After bringing the maids to Xiyan's wing, he said, "Xiyan, I need your help next time!"
Xiyan stood up quickly and said happily: "I'm worried about how to help. Brother Ling, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Cheng Ling smiled, handed him a pattern, and said: "These are some clothes I designed. Let these maids wear them, and then let them learn the etiquette I taught you, as well as dance and play the piano. I will have Very useful!”
Xi Yan took it and saw a long gown with some hollow patterns tattooed on it. The style was very exquisite and very close to the body, revealing the woman's figure. There were two slits on both sides, and the feet were The shoes are like wine glasses, with only one thin root.
She said in surprise: "Brother Ling, I'm afraid I can't sell this dress! The slit is too high, can it really be worn?"
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, you are very talented in matching clothes, and you will definitely be able to think of a solution. From now on, these two of them will be the face of Shennong Pharmaceutical!"
Cheng Ling's design is naturally the cheongsam. This popular costume in the late Qing Dynasty fully embodies the exquisite figure of a woman. It is completely different from the clothes worn by women today. If nothing else, it has a visual impact. He can capture a large group of young men and women with just his strength.
Xiyan felt deeply embarrassed and thought to herself: Brother Ling is really always designing clothes for these women. Such clothes are good-looking, but no lady dares to wear them openly.
However, she saw that Cheng Ling had a lot of things going on recently and wanted to help him share some of the burden, so she could only reluctantly agree.
Cheng Ling laughed and left. He still had many gadgets to refine. By then, not to mention the Chen family, even other shops in Luoye City would not be able to sell a single pill.
Although entrepreneurship in the 21st world has failed one after another, those marketing methods can be used casually, how can this world compare?
Zhang Hu worked very hard and spread the news quickly. Everyone in Luoye City was waiting for Shennong Pharmaceutical's donation of elixirs the next day.
At midnight, he came to the entrance and waited for Cheng Ling's arrival.
Soon, Cheng Ling came and took Zhang Hu into the inner courtyard. Zhang Hu suddenly felt refreshed. He had not practiced and did not know what the aura of heaven and earth was. He only felt that walking in the inner courtyard was much faster.
After taking him to his private room, Cheng Ling asked, "Do you want to learn Taoism?"
"Yes, please teach me, Master!"
"The path of cultivating Taoism has its benefits and dangers. Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said nothing more. He took out a magic weapon from the storage ring and said, "Put your hand on it and test your spiritual roots. If you don't have spiritual roots, it will be difficult to practice Taoism."
This is the magic weapon used to test spiritual roots. With his current formation cultivation, it can be said that refining such a magic weapon is a piece of cake.
Zhang Hu was shocked. He didn't expect to have spiritual roots, and he didn't know if he could do it. He put his hand on the magic weapon tremblingly, and soon one of the pillars of the magic weapon lit up, and the light was very strong.
Cheng Ling praised: "Yes, the fire element single spiritual root is very pure. You can indeed practice it!"
Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief and his face showed joy.
Cheng Ling took out two books and a sword from the ring, one skill and one sword skill, and said: "These are the skills and sword skills, and a hundred-refined sword. If you don't practice it now, you can wait until later." As your cultivation improves, I will naturally give you a better sword."
Zhang Hu took it over happily and said, "Thank you so much, Master! I will definitely practice hard."
Cheng Ling added: "You will learn the martial arts and swordsmanship on your own in the future. Now, I will teach you the preliminary cultivation methods. The spiritual energy here is very rich. You can also enter the inner courtyard to practice in the future. Listen carefully!"
Zhang Hu hurriedly listened attentively.
Cheng Ling told him all the magic techniques that Xuan Lingzi taught him one by one. After finishing speaking, he asked, "Have you ever memorized them all?"
"Master, I only remember half of it!"
"Okay, I'll say it again!"
By the second time, Zhang Hu had completely memorized it. Cheng Ling also nodded secretly. Although he didn't have the incredible memory he had back then, it was still good. Training him would be a help. If he was too stupid, he wouldn't have the patience to teach him.
He said: "Okay, you can start practicing according to the method I taught you! One thing you have to remember is that you have to spend four hours every day practicing basic swordsmanship. If you fail to achieve it, then I will no longer teach you. !”
Zhang Hu was stunned and responded quickly: "Yes, young master!"
After saying that, he left the wing and went to the garden to practice!
Early the next morning, a large group of people crowded in front of Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry. They all got the news and came to receive free pills.
Cheng Ling stood in the private room on the fourth floor, looking at the dark crowd in front of the door, and smiled lightly: free things naturally come to people, but he didn't know that these people had made a lot of free advertisements for him.
When the door of the drug store opened, those people rushed in frantically. Zhang Hu and more than 20 newly recruited clerks were waiting at the counter.
They expected that there would be many people coming to collect the elixir today, but they did not expect that there would be so many people. Soon, the door seemed to be bursting open, and everyone reached out to ask for the elixir.
The few monks who were recruited to guard the hospital were in full formation and guarding the counter, for fear that they would also crowd the counter.
These people who came to receive free pills were all monks in the Qi refining stage. They were shy and shy. How could they let go of the opportunity to receive free Qi-enhancing pills? In less than one stick of incense, a thousand free elixirs were collected.
But there were still many monks standing in front of the counter reaching out to ask for it. They said: "We are also here to receive free elixirs. Why can others receive it but we can't? It's unfair to you."
The leader of the nursing home in the middle stage of foundation building explained: "We have said before that only the first thousand people can receive it. You guys came too slowly, and it's no wonder who came."
However, relying on the large number of people, the monks refused to give in. They still stayed at the counter and refused to leave. Several nurses and Zhang Hu tried to persuade them, but it still had no effect.
At this time, Cheng Ling came down from upstairs, and the golden elixir's perfect cultivation power was radiated, which immediately overwhelmed the monks in the hall and could not move, and they were all trembling.
He said calmly: "Today is the day for the trial operation of our Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry. Everyone came to collect the elixirs. Unfortunately, the speed is too slow. Thousands of elixirs have been distributed. It is better to see if there is anything you need at the counter. .”
"Don't worry, the elixirs from our Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry are of high quality but at very low prices. They will definitely satisfy everyone."
Only then did everyone react. Under Cheng Ling's shock, they looked at the pills on the counter and found that the prices were much lower than elsewhere, about 20% less.
Some people wanted to buy some on the spot, but Zhang Hu said: "These elixirs are not for sale today. They will be sold after the official opening in ten days. Everyone is welcome to come again then."
The monks were all looking forward to seeing each other. They really didn’t want to leave or stay. Zhang Hu smiled secretly in his heart, the young master's idea is really brilliant!
